Title: Appareil et procede d'inspection du joint d'etancheite du pavillon d'admission d'une turbine a vapeur
Inventor: DAILEY GEORGE F
IPC: G01M3/28
Filed: 2001-09-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil d'inspection (40) conçu pour tester in-situ l'étanchéité du joint (30) du pavillon d'une turbine à vapeur (10). L'appareil comporte deux sacs (48, 52) gonflables pour définir un volume étanche n'ayant que le joint du pavillon (30) comme chemin de fuites. On compare le débit massique de l'air sous pression (70) à différentes pressions à travers le joint du pavillon (30) à des débits connus traversant un joint de pavillon conçu de manière semblable et présentant différents niveaux de détérioration. Une caméra (60),qui tourne au moyen d'un moteur (62) entre les sacs (48, 52), indique la position correcte de l'appareil d'inspection (40) et facilite l'inspection visuelle  du joint d'étanchéité du pavillon et de l'écrou de retenue (42). L'appareil d'inspection (40) peut être introduit dans la turbine par un orifice à travers une soupape de régulation de débit démontée sans qu'il soit nécessaire de démonter ladite turbine.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système ultrasonore pour mesurer le volume de liquide dans un récipient doté d'un couvercle dans lequel un signal ultrasonore est émis et reçu par un sous-système capteur placé sur le côté inférieur dudit couvercle dudit système ultrasonore. Ce dernier permet de mesurer la quantité exact de liquide ou son niveau contenu dans le récipient par traitement du temps que mettent les signaux ultrasonores pour parcourir la distance entre le sous-système capteur et la surface du liquide qui réfléchit les signaux ultrasonores vers ledit sous-système. Un pont SCR/diode triphasé, à semi-conducteurs convertit un courant alternatif triphasé (CA) en source d'alimentation en courant continu (CC) pour chauffer le liquide dans un sous-système chaudière avant son transfert dans le récipient. Un second dispositif de chauffage à commande à triac est alimenté par une seule phase de la source à courant triphasé et sert à chauffer le liquide et à le maintenir à une température constante dans le récipient.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus of the present invention
includes a developing device including a rotatable,
nonmagnetic developer carrier and a magnetic field forming
device. In a developing region where the developer
carrier faces an image carrier, the magnetic field forming
device causes a developer made up of toner and magnetic
grains to rise on the developer carrier in the form of a
magnet brush. In the developing region, the magnet brush
on the developer carrier is caused to move at a higher speed
than the surface of the image carrier in the same direction
as and in contact with the surface of the image carrier,
thereby developing the latent image. The toner of the
developer is magnetic toner. Flux density set up in the
developing region outside of the surface of the developer
carrier in a normal direction has an attenuation ratio of
50 % or above.

Abstract: Various implementations of the described subject associate a plurality of
threads that are sorted based on thread priority with a run queue in a deterministic
amount of time. The run queue includes a first plurality of threads, which are
sorted based on thread priority. The second plurality of threads is associated with
the run queue in a bounded, or deterministic amount of time that is independent of
the number of threads in the associated second plurality. Thus, the various
implementations of the described subject matter allow an operating system to
schedule other threads for execution within deterministic/predetermined time
parameters.

Abstract: A compression video decoder and a method thereof, which decodes a
standard compressed and encoded video stream, directly outputs the decoded
image according to a screen size of a display device without using a special
scale-down block for scaling down the image, increases a speed by reducing
computational complexity for scaling down the image, maintains quality of the
original image, and minimizes distortion. The compression video decoder for
decoding the compressed and encoded video stream according to a video
compression method using discrete cosine transform (DCT) and motion
compensation (MC), includes an inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) block
for extracting an N×N block DCT image in an image scale-down ratio according
to DC coefficients from an 8×8 block DCT image which has been obtained from
the compressed and encoded video stream and will be IDCT-processed,
multiplying the respective coefficients by N/8, and performing the IDCT thereon,
and an MC block for performing the MC by using the IDCT-processed reference
image and the current image, and reducing a magnitude of a motion vector and a
range of the MC at a ratio of N:8.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for optimizing
redundant link usage so as to allow a portion of the wasted bandwidth in a redundant
link system to be utilized for additional data traffic without compromising the ability of the
system to respond to and correct for a failure of a link. In one embodiment, two
independent, individually addressable links are established between to endpoints. One
of the links is selected as a nominal communication path, and the other as a standby
communication path. Data traffic between the endpoints is divided into path
independent traffic and path dependent traffic. The path independent traffic is sent via
the nominal communication path, while the path dependent data is sent via the nominal
communication path or the standby path, in accordance with the dependence of the
traffic. In another embodiment, the nominal communication path and standby
communication path each comprise a time sensitive path and a normal path. Critical
time sensitive traffic is sent via the nominal and standby time sensitive paths, while
normal traffic is sent via the nominal normal path, and non-critical traffic is sent via the
standby normal path.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container with a pneumatically driven locking mechanism and more specifically a container. One disadvantage of conventional containers is that when they are stacked on top of each other, it is not possible to raise and transport several of such containers at the same time. Another disadvantage is that stacked containers have hitherto needed to be locked manually, resulting in a considerable safety risk for dock workers and ship workers. The aim of the invention is to provide a container which is fitted in such a way that it can be locked with other similar containers without the need for manual activity and enable several stacked containers to be transported simultaneously. This is achieved by providing the container with corners having pneumatically driven, rotatable and displaceable locking devices arranged therein. The lower ends thereof have locking elements which engage with corresponding hollow bodies which are arranged in upper corner areas in order to receive the locking devices and which can lock the containers with each other. A control unit and a signalling element for detecting the exact position of the locking mechanism are also provided.
